Expanding Colleague Health and Wellness Support with New Resources
Empowering colleagues to be their best selves

Healthy colleagues’ function at their best, and in turn, contribute to the scientific community and the health of our patients.  We realize that for our colleagues to be their best, we must be committed to their health and wellness.  That is why each year we make new investments to help colleagues manage their mental and physical well-being.

Ensuring Corporate Responsibility: Pfizer Values and Commitments

In the real world, how do we ensure that our values remain a high priority and integrated across the business through prosperous times and tough times?

It is our fundamental belief that values help advance our mission to improve health for people around the world and create value for our diverse stakeholders. We focus not simply on what we do but also on how we do it. This means we continually review and update management policies and procedures to reflect the changing forces in science, technology and stakeholder expectations. We listen and learn. For example, in 2006-2007 we reviewed and revised our clinical trial policies and advertising practices and translated our Pfizer Code of Conduct into 36 languages.

At the core of our commitment to corporate responsibility are our stakeholders — the people who affect and are affected by our business actions. These include patients, physicians, regulators, customers, colleagues, investors, business partners and communities where we work and live.

We share one overarching goal with them — good health for all people at a manageable cost. To help achieve this responsibly, below are the concrete policies and procedures covering the major facets of our business to which all employees around the world must adhere.
